[Nut-upsuser] R: R: NUT and relay on USB

[Maurizio Iacaruso]

Setup that I was on mind is a little different, but I think your setup works
well.

In my setup the HUB is connected directly to the UPS, then the cables go to
raspberry and device.

In your setup the HUB is connected directly to the raspberry, then the
cables go to UPS and Device.

 

It’s Ok?

 

In both configurations I need the same things: Male B->female A adaptor, HUB
and 2 male A-> male A cables. 

The male A- male A cables have any peculiarity? Can I buy it or make it
myself without problems? 

 

Thanks a lot for advice.

I'm not sure I understand your setup.

 

This should work, using standard USB cables:

 

 <- upstream       downstream ->

     <- host       device ->

 

            A->B   A->B

 

Raspberry Pi -> hub -> UPS

                 |

                 \---> device

 

The problem is that there is no equivalent of a "crossover cable" or
"null-model adapter" for USB. (I am ignoring USB OTG
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go>  for the moment, since you want
the RPi to talk to the UPS). There are many USB adapter cables out there
that will only work for supplying power, or only with point-to-point USB
OTG.
